We made a few videos for the Evangel Baptist Chruch website. They were filmed in my study by Sue Calvas and they will play on the church website through the month of December. Can you hear the crackling fire and smell the pine?
New Moon/Twilight
I love a good story. The world loves a good story. There are two kinds of “good.” Good as in interesting, and good as in morally sound and helpful. Much that is interesting is not good in the sight of God, good for you, or morally upright. There are thousands of really “good” books to read. These include every kind of literature, biographies, fiction, travel narrative, nature writing, essays, and dozens of other forms.
In all of my lifetime I may never read every word of every book I currently own. It’s one of the things that gets me out of bed in the morning. I spend a significant amount of my time every day writing–I like to think–good things. I want to influence my children and the people in our church to read good things that please the Lord and contribute to spiritual vitality.
Anything that stirs up sensuality, encourages exploration of dark and questionable things, dabbles with the occult, or violates the law of God should be set aside for something eternally edifying. We only have a few short hours before sunset to labor for Christ and influence people for good, so we should be continually focused on what is good and sound, and edifying, and morally upright.
One reviewer wrote: “…the story encourages children to give into their emotions and contains occult, pagan content, brief intense violence, and a heroine who desires to become a vampire. “What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?” (Mark 8:36).”
If you are interested in the new Twilight movie you might want to carefully read this review from Plugged-in Online.
Pierpont Sisters (June 2008)
In June of 2008 Holly, Heidi, Hannah, and Hope toured in Kentucky. They were warmly welcomed. Here is a video that was taken. The girls were a little ill from driving through the mountains, but I think it sounds beautiful. A week from tomorrow Heidi will marry and move to another state far away. It will be a little harder to hear the Pierpont sisters then.

OK, this morning my grandson, Kyle Kenneth called. He must have grabbed his dad’s phone and hit a number. We had a good talk. This picture was taken at Camp Barakel this fall while I was speaking at Family Camp. Lois skipped my session and spent the time with little Kyle. He dutifully posed for this picture. His dad, (our oldest son, Kyle) has been asked to speak at a retreat at Camp Barakel. This is a big deal to me because Camp Barakel is one of my favorite places in the world. It is a wonderful ministry. You should consider taking your youth group to hear Kyle speak in January. Tell him I sent you. Kyle met his wife, Elizabeth at Barakel.
